    power steering pump question

    I noticed there is power steering fluid leaking off the bottom of the pump. I checked from the top and bottom and cannot see where it is leaking from. Can the pump itself actually leak or is it most likely a hose connecting to the top of the pump leaking down onto the pump. I will have to...

    Metal Head Gasket and Torque Specs

    Your driving habits sounds very similar to mine and I only put about 4k miles on my car per year. As far as my cooling system goes everything is brand from the hoses/thermostat/water pump and I have a new Fluidyne radiator. As far as mods go I'd like to run what you were running on the 60-1...

    Metal Head Gasket and Torque Specs

    Yea....I was asking if you can get away without resurfacing the block. Mechanic said the labor goes from 12-13 hrs to 20-25hrs plus the cost of the decking at the shop....at a $100 an hr it bumps up my $2,000 job to a $4,000 job. At $4,000 I'd rather go 1jz, but at this point its too late. I...

    Metal Head Gasket and Torque Specs

    My 89 MK3 turbo is currently in the shop and the head is off and at the machine shop. I am having the head resurfaced and I am wondering about the block. I stopped into the shop today and spoke with the mechanic and checked out the block. The mechanic put a straight edge across the block and...

    noise coming from front wheels while turning

    Yea I realized that after I thought about it. I got under the car while it was not jacked up and looked around and can not see how anything could be rubbing. I think it has something to do with the brakes. I am just now hearing it when I put the new rims on because the face of them are open...

    noise coming from front wheels while turning

    When I first start my 89 supra turbo 5spd and go to make a right turn out of my driveway I hear a noise coming from the front driver side wheel. It sounds like metal rubbing very lightly...almost as if my rims are hitting the dust shield for the brakes even though I know this is not the case...

    check engine code 31

    I haven't run my supra all winter and I started it up the other day and drove it and it seemed fine. So today I took it for a short drive and on the way home I felt it missing a little. As I pulled into the driveway I and I was positions the car to pull into the garage it stalled. I was able...

    Philly Supra Meet 2010!! Sunday May 30th

    I am not 100% if I will be there due to work, but does anyone need mint condition cloth front and rear gray seats . They are out of an 87 turbo and are light gray. The pattern is checkered rather than the horizontal lines. I am selling them for $200 and it would be nice if someone in the area...

    charcoal canister

    Upon further inspection I am pretty sure my car does not have a port for the BVSV. So if I dont have a BVSV to connect the purge line to and the bottom line is a vent the only point of the canister at this point is to vent the gas tank fumes too? Do i even need the canister for this? Why not...

    charcoal canister

    So today I decided to remove the charcoal canister to re paint it because it looked crappy. Upon removal I noticed the hose coming from the bottom was not connected to anything. Where is this suppose to go? I checked the TSRM and none of the pictures show where the lower hose goes. Then the...

    Drift Motion NA-T Kit

    I think you are much better off just purchasing a GTE. As far as driftmotion goes I highly recommend them. I have talked to Aaron several times over the phone and he has always been more than happy to answer any questions. If you still want to purchase the kit I would just call him and...

    Spark plug change-Won't stay started

    It's def not the NGK iridiums. I bought some and they came pre gaped. I simply installed them and the car runs great. This sounds dumb but def make sure your plug wires are installed right. There are two that are very similar in length. I switched these when I first did my install and the...

    Start taking to long

    I have an 89 7MGTE 5 speed. Each day when I go to start my supra I have to let it crank over a few times.......stop......and crank it over a few more times till it starts up. I owned an 87 supra as well and it was the same. Is this just the way the cars are or is there something that can be...

    clutch feels too soft

    Yea the fluid is fine. Ill take it for a drive and if its fine I wont worry about it. Ill keep a slave/master cylinder in mind for the near future. Pretty sure they are from 1989 and wouldnt hurt to replace them. Driftmotion has them both for under a $100
